Proposed Development:

Applicant:

National Paediatric Hospital Application SID-2015-DC-06

Application to An Bard Pleanala under section 37E for
permission for a period of 10 no. years for the development of a
proposed new National Paediatric Hospital which is an
integrated health infrastructure development comprising 6 no.
principal elements and ancillary developments. Paediatric
Hospital developments to take place at the following four sites:
St. James's Hospital Campus, James's Street, Dublin 8; the
former Unilever site at Davitt Road, Drimnagh, Dublin 12; The
Adelaide and Meath Hospital Dublin (Tallaght Hospital), Belgard
Square North, Tallaght, Dublin 24; and Connolly Hospital
Campus, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.
National Paediatric Hospital Board

A Chara
On behalf of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, I refer to correspondence
received in relation to the above.
Outlined below are the heritage-related observations/recommendations of the Department under
the stated heading(s).

Archaeology
The Department has examined the archaeological component of the EIS (Section 15) submitted
with the above application. On the basis of the information in the EIS and its conclusions the
Department has no objections to the proposed developments subject to the implementation of the
appropriate mitigation recommendations.
The Department further recommends that the developers appoint a suitably qualified archaeologist
to co-ordinate the appropriate archaeological mitigation (archaeological monitoring/testing, EIS
Sections 5.1.4, 5.2.6 and 15.3.6)) across the various locations. The archaeologist will agree the

2
mitigation methodologies with the National Monuments Service of the Department of Arts, Heritage
and the Gaeltacht and with the Dublin City Archaeologist in advance of the commencement of
enabling, demolition or construction works.
Reason: To ensure the continued preservation (either in situ or by record) of places, caves, sites,
features or other objects of archaeological interest."

Architectural Heritage
The Department notes from the perspective of Architectural Heritage that a number of buildings on
the site are to be demolished, none of which are referred to as protected structures. The
Department recommends by way of mitigation that these buildings (including BH-21 , which is an
early-nineteenth century villa) be fully surveyed and recorded and that copies of the record be
lodged (in addition to any other repository requirements the Board may have) with the Irish
Architectural Archive. It is noted that in the case of one building, BH-07 Chapel, it is proposed to
salvage features/materials during the building works. No proposal is made as to where this salvage
is to end up and the Department recommends that the Board seeks some certainty about this. In
the case of the chapel's stonework, which appears to be granite, including squared rubble, the
Department is of the view that this could be reused for boundary walls, landscaping dwarf walls or
other features on site in the hospital project. In the case of BH-29, derelict building fronting
James's Street, this is apparently constructed substantially of limestone including what is described
as 'snecked limestone ashlar'. There is no proposal for salvage but again the Department
recommends that the stone be salvaged for reuse on the site In a similar way to the granite from
the chapel.

You are requested to send the acknowledgement to this letter, any further information and the An
Bord Pleam11a order to the Development Applications Unit (DAU) of the Department at
